I was wondering if Daka is worth maxing out and if she is viable in arena?

She's still viable IMO. Not the META, but viable. She could be annoying coupled with a fast ST Han to stun the highest threat on the enemy team.

She is useful but not top tier and there are definitely a bunch of other options before her. I didn't even think about her being useful to the point where she gets a lot of speed combined with potency. Might work out, somehow.

I still use her in arena. She's also awesome in GW. Best controller in the game, imo.

I miss the old hag. I used her for a very long time in arena. Essentially a lot of toons will work to an extent with really good mods...but the new meta has changed a lot and she doesn't really hold up. There are better options, though I know a few who use her that are in the top 10. She has to be max gear with tons of speed. But I personally wouldn't go for her, its better to use her spot for another high damage dealer in my opinion. I dropped dooku lead and daka for Phasma lead and Rey...used to finish about 25, now 4.

She was meta when Dooku was meta, but not anymore

The most frustrating squads I come across are Teebo Leads with Daka thrown in...sure that stun is great and all, but that -untargetable- Daka with rez feels like too much. Unless I get lucky and take Daka out before she goes invisible, and even before teammates like Rey & QGJ....which should go against all better judgement, it's the most futile fight ever.

One of the most challenging teams I face on my shard is duku L, QGJ, gam soldier, daka and Rg. The stuns with the multiple attacks from qgj, gam, and duku suck.

I used her up until finishing Lando last week. Was running EP/RG/QGJ/JKA/Daka. My team still holds pretty much the same place overnight, right around 15. I loaded her up with tank stats because forcing someone to kill her before she has the chance to single handedly beaten your team sucks when you have to let JKA wail on your team and EP stun everyone.

Combined with JKA and B2 I find her to be actually very useful. Not too much DPS then though but the battle might get annoying this way.

I still see a couple of Dakas at the top of my shard and they were the main reason I started stacking speed on my Rex cause I was often double stunned before any of my toons moved, as they had Daka modded to about 200 speed.

Daka has the added benefit of being very useful in GW. Worthwhile farm regardless
